I tried that... he got a little tear in the corner of his eye and told me mommy said he can't go outside today.
He's been lookin' out the window over the back of the couch all day... poor little guy, I sure feel sorry for him.
Yesterday he helped(?) me put new rear tires on the little tractor, buzzed around the woodlot on his ATV, played a little catch with the football, and just generally screwed-off outside. He was a filthy mess when we came in, and mom could hardly keep him awake long enough to get him clean. He came bouncin' out'a the bedroom early this morning draggin' a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt... and then he looked out the window... and then he looked up at mom... who just shook her head no... and he's been lookin' out the window ever since.
